Rose Friedman-A Tribute

Overshawdowed only because she wasn't a media star like Novak, we shouldn't forget Rose Friedman, who passed the same day. She was the wife of Milton Friedman, and his intellectual partner. They wrote "Free to Choose", one of the most influential books in my life. She was the recipient or the Clare Booth Luce Award from the Heritage Foundation for advancing the cause of conservatism.

Heritage President Edwin J. Feulner: "You, Rose and Milton Friedman, have been second to none in your vigilant, tireless and effective defense of liberty. At a time when it was intellectually fashionable to assert that collectivism was the wave of the future, you steadfastly championed the moral and practical superiority of free markets. At a time when ‘economic’ freedom was widely held to be less important than ‘political’ freedom, you demonstrated that they are, in fact, inseparable. And when others looked to the power of the state to accomplish their social objectives, you reshaped American politics through your advocacy of monetary restraint, deregulation, the volunteer army, school choice and the flat tax.”
